Lanes For Proposed Daniells Bridge Road Flyover Changed Again At Request Of Oconee County Commission Chairman
Oconee Chairman Melvin Davis asked the Policy Committee of Madison Athens-Clarke Oconee Regional Transportation Study to make the change.
The plan to build the Daniells Bridge Road extension with a flyover of SR Loop 10 with only two lanes didn’t last long.
At a meeting Wednesday morning, the Policy Committee of the Madison Athens-Clarke Oconee Regional Transportation Study (MACORTS) changed the 2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program document to say that the extension and flyover should be either two lanes or four.
The Committee took that action at the request of Oconee County Board of Commissioners Chairman Melvin Davis, a member of the Policy Committee.
The night before, Oconee County Public Works Director Emil Beshara told the county’s Citizen Advisory Committee for Land Use and Transportation Planning that the extension and flyover were listed as two-lanes wide in the MACORTS 2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program document
The project had been changed from four lanes to two in the MACORTS document in recent weeks at the request of Davis.
